Shannon Van Hire

The roads in Shannon and most of Ireland are in good condition, making driving easy and comfortable. Motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road in Ireland, which is an adjustment if you’re used to driving on the right side. By law, seatbelts must always be worn by both the driver and the passengers.

You must be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Shannon, Ireland for most car rental agencies. Some, however, may only rent to drivers who are 25 or older.
